Vulnerable groups

This term is applied to groups of people (children, pregnant women, elderly people, malnourished people, prisoners, migrants and refugees, people who uses drugs, and people who are ill or immunocompromised, etc.) who, due to factors usually considered outside their control, do not have the same opportunities as other, more fortunate groups in society.
